NOTE:
When diagnosing a VC-LEV problem, resolve any alarms raised against
VC-BD or VC-DSPPT maintenance objects. Clea ring VC-BD or VC-DSPPT
alarms may clear the VC-LEV alarm.
The VC circuit pack is maintained by the software similarly to the Tone Detector
circuit pack. Tone Detector circ uit packs may be removed and reinserted in any
port board slot without ad ministration. The same rule applies to VC circuit pac ks.
If a VC circuit pack is removed from service logically (b y failing the Archangel
sanity scan test) or is removed from service physically (by physically removing
the circuit pac k from the carrier), no error/alarm is raised aga inst VC-BD or
VC-DSPPT maintenance objec ts. Therefore, if a VC-LEV error/alarm exists, and
none has been raised aga inst VC-BD or VC-DSPPT maintenance objects, a VC
circuit pack may have been removed from service c ausing the VC-LEV
error/alarm. To resolve a VC-LEV MAJOR alarm, restore the number of VC ports
available for service to b e equal to or more than the calculated port capacit y
(value entered in the VCs field).
To determine how many VC circuit packs are need ed for the MMCH feature:
1. Display the System-Parameters Maintenance form by ex ecuting the
command display system-parameters maintenance.
2. Locate the number listed in the Minimum Maintenance Threshold (VCs)
field. The MMCH feature requires one VC circuit pac k for each four ports
listed in the Minimum Maintenance Threshold (VCs)
field.
3. Divide the Minimum Maintenance Threshold value by 8 to determine the
number of VC circuit pac ks needed. For example, a port capacity of 12
listed in the Minimum Maintenance Threshold (VCs) field would require 2
VC circuit packs.
4. Use the list configuration command to verify that the number of VC
circuit packs l isted agrees with the required numb er of VC circuit packs
(determined in step 3) . If the number of VC circuit pac ks listed in the step
3 differs from the calculated number, restore the number of VC circuit
packs to the correc t value, in order to resolve the VC-LEV alarm.
